Artist History LIFE DISORDER: the story so far...by Chad Kalhagen (04/05/03) This band has technically been around since mid 2000, but this current line-up has only been together since November of 2002. I requited Tim on guitar early in 2001 and he's the only original member left since he's the only one in the band that has never been removed from the line-up (excluding Robert 'cause he just joined). I'm not gonna even start to get into who was kicked out and why because I have a hell of temper and I used used to kick people out for stupid shit. Anyway, to make a long and uneventful story short, I'm gonna move on. The band really took off when Tim joined in 2001 and Dustin came not too long after. This was the year of roster changes, deciding what kind of overall sound the band would ultimately have, and a shit load of practice followed. 2002 was a wasted year for the band. Tim and I got a job at the mall at the same store because we let the store manager, Adam, play drums for us. Everything was cool until late March when Adam's sister from Indiana came to visit him on her spring break. He introduced me to her and we ended up deciding to hook up, and she was gonna move here with Adam when the school year was done. Well, as it turns out, in early April Adam decided to move home and I made the decision to go with him. I ended up telling Tim in mid-April what was going on and the band came to a crashing hault. I ended up moving to Indiana with Adam at the end of April and stayed there until November when I moved back home to Wisconsin on thanksgiving day. In Indiana I tried to keep the band going, but we changed our name and really pussed out compared to what the band sounded like before because I moved, I was stuck as the only guitar player and sole songwriter and it just wasn't the same without Tim. Adam's sister ended up being a lying bitch and the band was going nowhere fast, so I made the decision to move home. And it actually was a pretty hard decision to make because I had made a lot of good friends in Indiana in the short time that I was there, and here in Wisconsin I have never had a lot of people that I would actually consider friends, but I decided that the band should come first because I have wanted to do this since I was like 10 fucking years old. After I moved back in November, it only took us about a week to get going again because Tim had been jamming with Robert during the time that I was gone, but the other guitarist that was in the band at the time had gotten into some kind of misunderstanding with Dustin and so Dustin was not with the band when I came back, but it only took us a few days to realise that we needed him back. So about two weeks after I came back, the band already had a full roster and that made it easy on all of us because we were very eager to jam together again since it had been so long. Robert ended up proving to be a huge asset to the band and helped us sound tighter than we had ever sounded by early 2003. Which brings us up to speed with the March 1 recording of our first album, Fate is Death, our first official live gig on March 29 at Club Raven, and only less than a week ago, the release of our first official demo. --CHAD
